Panasonic DMC-GH4 Body Only - $1499 - special order

Panasonic V-Log Update for GH4/5 - Reg $129 SALE
$99 - on back-order - sale ends Apr 20
Upgrade your GH4/5 with Panasonic's V-Log Gamma Profile.
This gives you a wide dynamic range of 12 stops (the GH4 has normally
10 stops). Helps you colour match to a Varicam. This V-Log profile
has the same LUT and Curve as standard V-Log on the Panasonic broadcast
cameras. Please note that V-Log, while it gives you increased
dynamic range, also shoots in a very "flat" look (almost
monochromatic), and requires heavy colour correcting in post. If you
are looking for a fast and dirty workflow, V-Log is not for you. If
you are looking to get maximum colour information from your image,
andaren't afraid of colour grading in post, then you will be happy.

This product contains only the activiation code - you still have
to download the actual firmware from Panasonic.

GH4 Professional Video Functions
• Time Code
SMPTE-compliant Time Code in Rec Run or Free Run makes it
easy to synchronize multiple videos or sound sources in the postproduction
process.
• Color Bars & 1KHz Test Tone
Color Bars (SMPTE / EBU / ARIB Standard) are used as a benchmark
for fixing color or brightness. 1KHz Test Tone is used as a benchmark
for fixing sound or volume.
• Center Marker
Center Marker works as a guide mark for video image composition.
Simply display it at the center of the viewing angle.
• Synchro Scan
Use Synchro Scan to suppress flicker over the TV / PC monitor,
or when shooting under fluorescent lights.
• Cinelike Gamma
"CINELIKE D" and "CINELIKE V" create a cinema-like tone
to expand your creativity.
• Master Pedestal
Use Master Pedestal to adjust the brightness balance ±15 steps
based on the color black.
• Zebra Pattern
Determine overexposed areas with the Zebra Pattern before
or during shooting. This pattern can even be output to the external
monitor too.

The panasonic LUMIX GH4 builds on the legacy of the renowned LUMIX
GH3s image quality and world class video capabilities. Now supporting
4K quality video, the Panasonic LUMIX GH4 allows photographers and
cinematographers to explore above and beyond with in camera creative
options and astonishing focus control that sets the new standard for
mirrorless hybrid photography.

When combined with one of the many LUMIX G Lenses or movie industry
PL mount cine lenses, the LUMIX GH4 provides the ultimate platform
for video. Photographers will enjoy the controls and image quality
expected of a professional grade main system camera for still and
hybrid photography. Both will enjoy the durability and lightweight
portability that a modern mirrorless DSLM digital camera offers over
legacy DSLR systems.

The 16.05-megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor achieves high quality,
high sensitivity image recording with its quick response. An approximately
50% higher speed signal readout suppresses the effect of a rolling
shutter when using electronic shutter or recording video. The Live
MOS Sensor delivers an expanded gradation range by a maximum1/3 step
at low ISOs. Superior noise reduction allows for exposures up to 60
minutes long.

The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GH4 integrates Wi-Fi connectivity with NFC
(Near Field Communication) technology. With the Panasonic Image App,
remote photo and video shooting is available with a compatible smartphone
or tablet, and can easily add embed geotag data in an image after
shooting. Even if a smartphone / tablet is incompatible with NFC,
you can still be easily connect to the camera by scanning the QR code
displayed on the GH4's monitor from your mobile device..

The VFR (Variable Frame Rate) enables Full-HD video recording with
slow/fast motion such as 96 fps / 4x. Time Lapse Shot and Stop Motion
Animation produce a stop motion (stop frame) video with sequential
pictures. Both are created in-camera without any postproduction process.

For the global business and professional user, the system frequency
is flexible from 59.94Hz (23.98Hz) / 50.00Hz / 24.00Hz.

The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GH4 delivers superb mobility and high-speed
response. The high-precision Contrast AF integrates DFD (Depth from
Defocus) technology to achieve ultra high speed AF of approximately
0.07 sec*. The burst shooting power is boosted to 12 fps (AFS), and
both 2,359K-dot LVF (Live View Finder) and 1,036K-dot rear monitor
adopt OLED to minimize time lag while enhancing the resolution.

The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GH4 boasts an electronic shutter. The high-speed
signal readout from the Live MOS Sensor minimizes rolling shutter
effect. The Silent mode switches the shutter from mechanical to electronic
and turns off sounds, while suppressing the AF assist lamp and flash
with just a single setting for special shooting occasions.

The shutter unit boasts professional graded added durability delivering
approximately 200,000 release times*. You'll be empowered with a maximum
shutterspeed of 1/8000 second, not only for capturing spur-of-the-moment
fast moving subjects, but also using a high-speed lens with an open
aperture even in outdoors to achieve the desired defocus effect. Both
the built-in and external flash can be synchronized with a maximum
1/250 second shutter speed.

Tough enough to withstand even heavy field use, the Panasonic LUMIX
DMC-GH4 is composed of a magnesium alloy full die cast front / rear
frame. It also features splash** / dustproof construction with sealing
on every joint, dial, and button. The shutter unit is designed for
durability and delivers approximately 200,000 release times*.

Focus point is increased from 23 points in the LUMIX GH3 to 49 points
in the LUMIX GH4 for more flexibility in your composition. Custom
Multi mode extends that flexibility even more with the ability to
freely select the blocks to focus out of the 49 focusing areas.

The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GH4 is capable of real-time image output
(4:2:2 / 8 bit or 4:2:2 / 10 bit) to the external monitor via an optional
micro HDMI cable*. This is perfect for professional video making that
requires serious monitoring. Choose to output only the recording content,
or the content with the setting menus individually, depending on the
display.

You can choose color or texture type for photos and videos from
Standard / Vivid / Natural / Monochrome / Scenery / Portrait. Contrast,
sharpness, noise reduction, saturation, and hue parameter for each
mode can be adjusted and even set into the camera's memory.
